The Munsons assemble to break down the career of Chris Pine, Hollywood's soulful blue-eyed heartthrob who may just be the most charismatic of all the Chris’s. We dive into how he stacks up against the likes of Hemsworth, Pratt, Rock, O’Dowd and others—and what makes him stand out in a crowded field of cinematic superheroes and leading men. From his plastic-perfect fame in the Barbie/Ken doll universe to his raw and gritty turn in Hell or High Water (which we absolutely fawn over), Pine continues to defy expectations. We discuss the surprising insights he’s shared about his career in interviews, his impressive pipes as a singer, and his natural ability to command the screen no matter the role. Kyle successfully converts the crew into Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves fans, and we share our reactions to the fun, fantasy-packed adventure. We also explore whether Poolman is just the beginning of Pine's journey toward becoming a prolific Hollywood director.

How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
